Abstract excerpt
Exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) occurs in horses performing high-intensity athletic activity. The application of physics principles to derive a 'physical model', which is coherent with existing physiology and cell biology data, shows that critical parameters for capillary rupture are cell-cell adhesion and cell stiffness (cytoskeleton organisation). Specifically, length of fracture in the capillary...
